"Sell out warning! Down Stokes flips four Stokes Croft venues into a bonafide carnival for the fuzz-inclined. Aaaall the guitar mutations, from the rage-forward caustic screeds of Ditz and Enola Gay, to engrossing melodic rock and experimental noise smelts. A local labour of love FFO: Metz, Thank, Just Mustard, Idles."

Down Stokes 2026 is loading.....
Velvet Echoes and Extra Terrestrial Promotions present Down Stokes, a multi-venue festival dedicated to bringing Psych and Garage Rock with emerging genres such as Noise and Fuzz to the heart of Stokes Croft. Whether it's the ear-battering noise of DITZ and Enola Gay, the quirky and moveable electro post-punk of Home Counties, the dreamy and ethereal ways of Bleach Lab, or the classical psych sounds of Helicon, this years lineup has all you need in the form of both emerging and established acts. Proudly independent, and always community-driven, the Saturday of Down Stokes 2026 takes no exception from its predecessors, being hosted across Attic Bar, The Croft, Canteen & The People's Republic of Stokes Croft.
Come see your favourite bands (and discover some new ones) in your favourite venues! We look forward to welcoming you :)
